demonic gateway in raid, are you allowed to use it?

i thought the gateway could be helpfull on some bossefights so i set it on Blade Lord Ta'yak to help with the tornados and on Emperor's Open Hand with the 'courage' mop to get from one side of the room to the other, but may raidleader told me not to use the gateway because ppl would accidently step into it..

do you use the gateway on bossfights? what does your raidleader think about it?

What Imnick said is right. In 5.1 you have to click on it to port, so you can't walk through it. I did have some fun times with my guild though before 5.1

Another amazing use for it is Sha of Anger in terrace. You can position them to go from the safe cone zone, to out past where the adds will spawn. We had 2 locks including me tonight and it made those adds go down amazingly fast. Was very useful. There are some other somewhat useful ways to use the gate, but a lot of raid leaders are reluctant and worried to let us use it I think, lol.

Before 5.1 I could only use it on the first boss in Heart of Fear so the group could quickly jump across the poisoned floor when switching platform. On the rest however they felt people ran into them accidentally too much or were knocked into them, so I wasn't allowed to use it.

Now however, if they somehow "accidentally" teleport by right clicking it, it's their own bloody fault so I can use it as I please.

Before 5.1 in my guild we're allowed only to use it on Stone Guards Hc to reach tiles more quick, but RNG sucks and you can step in a trap, if you don't watch to the floor where gateway is. On Elegon to position on the center of the room, after we have down the pillars. At Zorlok our raid leader don't want we use them because he rather have tank there before all dps, to don't aggro boss.

Perhaps i try on Sha of Fear, but for now teleport it's doing all my job there. I might ask if we're allowed to pop gateway there to help kill adds more quickly.

on zorlok i udsed the gateway between the first two platforms and everytime we switched platforsm through the gate, somehow one person of the raid got a onehit from the boss, so i was forbidden to use it, i think it is bugged

Pre 5.1 the only fight I was allowed to use it was on the first boss in HoF. I'd set it up before the pull for the tank and healers to rapidly bypass the first gas transition. Before that I was putting it up in MSV and my guild had a feral druid who would make it a point to run through the portal and either get zoned out or would zone in early and pull the boss, even if I put the gate in a corner. Either way I felt it worked fine, just needed to not despawn if I moved away from either end.

Jumping through the portal makes the jumper immune to aggro for a few secs. If the tank jumps...

When I tried using it on Imperial Vizier Zor'lok it seemed to cause him to spawn those safe-zone bubbles in the middle of the room (in the gas).

Nay, it's not that. There's a different bug at play - if you wipe on the last phase he sometimes fails to reset and still thinks he should pop his bubbles in the middle. Then you wipe, he resets and all is right with the world.

It works amazing. Our kill on Sha of Fear was almost 4 minutes faster this week, obviously not all in part due to the portal, but a lot of it had to do with this. Just have ranged dps stack around the gate(s), then soon as it is safe to go, take gate. Before breath, or when add dies, all they do is right click again... no moving involved whatsoever.

Our guild did Sha of Fear on tuesday and the gateways became non-interactable objects whenever the owner of the gateway was cackled to a shrine. First wipe we discovered it, second wipe we did for science to confirm it, so we just stopped using them. However works on every other fight except elegons platform and on some fights glyph it (stone guard, feng, blade lord)
